Sox need a smarter approach at the plate tonight. Have to cut down on the strikeouts and indecisive checked swings. Make contact, put the ball in play and go with the pitch. If they are being pitched middle away, they have to go to the opposite field. Be smart and don't worry so much about working the count. Detroit pitchers know how to put hitters away when they get two strikes.

Hoping the Sox play their best and win this easily. Also hoping the posters stick with the game situation and stay away from blaming the umps for everything. And , please stop with the announcer bashing. Joe Buck is one of the top play by play guys in the business. Fox sports uses him on all of the big baseball and football games. There is a reason for that. And , please stop complaining about the game times. The networks pay plenty to air these games that we can watch for free. Ratings are vital. There are four time zones ( not counting Hawaii ) in this country. They want to air in prime time to the maximum amount possible. They are not in business to cater to the Eastern time zone. Be sensible and enjoy the game. I think it will be a battle, but we have the better team and we should prevail. The rest is all nonsense.

I wish could feel like you do. Tonight, so far, SZ looks good. I think last night screwed up the hitters. They might not recover. Their Texas trip mid summer did that to them. Put them in a funk for a couple of weeks. The strike zone in that series was all over the place. You start swinging at balls because you think they may be called strikes. How can you say they have zero effect? As far as the announcers go, they aren't as bad as the TBS division series clowns where.
